A rectangular beam cross-section has the following properties:
Assume an initial neutral axis depth of 5 inches.
a) Based on the assumed neutral axis depth, compute the compression resultant in the concrete.
b) Based on the assumed neutral axis depth, determine the compression resultant in the compression steel.
c) Based on the assumed neutral axis depth, determine the tension resultant in the tension steel.
d) DO NOT iterate and fully solve this problem, but if you were going to iterate, how would you change your guess for
the neutral axis for the next iteration? (i.e. increase or decrease)? PLEASE REFER TO THE PICTURE BELOW FOR THE FULL AND COMPLETE QUESTION. PLEASE SOLVE, ANSWER, SHOW ALL CALCULATIONS AND ANY NECESSARY EXPLANATION.
